About this book

Beautiful Carnage When a ruthless mafia enforcer kidnaps his blood enemy from her wedding day, he's convinced he has everything under control—until the fierce woman he once tried to kill refuses to be the victim he expects. Rocco thinks making her fall for him will be easy, a calculated move to prove his dominance and crush the Calabresi family from the inside out, but their electric chemistry and the intensity of forced proximity have other plans. As nights tangled together blur the lines between captor and captive, genuine connection threatens to derail his revenge plot entirely. This sizzling dark romance explores what happens when enemies discover the person they were meant to destroy might actually be the one they were meant to find.

Dark, intense contemporary romance with smoldering chemistry and dangerous tension. Mix moody indie, sultry R&B, and industrial pop. Artists like The Weeknd, Banks, and Halsey capture the electric pull between enemies, the intoxicating risk, and surrender to forbidden desire amid chaos.
